Tickets for Friday's game are going fast and are expected to
be sold out by game time, said Mike Modugno, K-Wings director of public relations
and broadcaster. More tickets had been sold by 2 p.m. Thursday for this year's
home opener than the 2,921 that were sold for last year's, Modugno said.

Home openers don't usually sell out -- last season's green
ice game was the last time all 5,113 K-Wings tickets were sold, Modugno said.

The renovations will make coming to a hockey game "a whole
show" that will entertain fans from the moment they walk into the stadium and
hopefully keep them coming back, Modugno said.

"All these changes were made with the fans' experience in
mind," he said. "We're excited to lift the curtain."

The $2 million renovation also includes a new sound system,
new flooring, paint, concourse monitors, 48-inch plasma TVs at the pedestrian
exit tunnels and more concession food options. Some of the new food options
include funnel cakes, cheesesteaks, specialty pretzels and a variety of chicken
wings.

Season ticket holders gave "rave reviews" after they were
given a sneak peek of the renovations on Wednesday night, Modugno said. The
Detroit Tigers game was going to be shown on the scoreboard, but it was
postponed. Parts of the Tigers game could be shown on Friday, if there is a
game five.

The K-Wings started the season on the road and are off to a
1-1 start. The home opener is a FANomenal Friday featuring $2 pint beers, $1
Pepsis and a special food item, which is $1 popcorn this week. There will be a
pre-game tailgate party in The Annex featuring the band Plain Jayne and
inflatable games for kids of all ages.

On Saturday, the K-Wings take on the Toledo Walleye at 7:30
p.m. Fans can come early to dunk K-Wings employees in a dunk tank and test their
football skills in the NFL Tailgate. The Budweiser Girls and Coors Light Girls
will be on hand and there will be $3 domestic beers and $4 imports for
Beerfest.
